I'm going to have to argue with myself -- really, the *biggest*
concern is that the current situation allows data to be quietly
mangled through non-obvious action-at-a-distance. The damage might
not be discovered for a very long time. Debugging the cause of the
mangling, once noticed, is the *next* most significant concern.
